Still waiting for the auto remove of the download bar and a "open" or "save as" dialog box like Internet Explorer.

the New Downloads UI in about:flags will get rid of the download bar.

and under Options/Downloads set Ask where to save each file before downloading, and it will give an "open" or "save as" dialogue box like Internet Explorer.

I am hoping they add 3.7 v8 JS engine in C17 since it contains new Garbage Collector (little tweaked Incremental Garbage Collector), it will be great for memory conscious guys.

Dev Channel Update

All

  • Fixed possible hang when using the GPU (Issue: 102214).

Windows

  • Fixed a bug causing the missing plug-in infobar (?An additional plug-in is required??) to wrongly appear (Issue: 101821)

Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S. The dialog boxes are there and even use IE's shortcuts. The menu items aren't though, but this is pretty rare commands to spend precious menu space on, and a keyboard is faster anyway.

Edit: Oh, maybe this was about the download manager! Haha.

My chrome refuses to start on the new tab homepage, it keeps restoring my lab open tabs on a fresh startup. I have that option off as well. Guess it's a bug in the latest dev version.
